I can't hold a LLM accountable for bad answers, nor can I (truly) correct them (in current models).

Dont forget to take into account how damn expensive a single GPU/TPU actually is to purchase, install, and run for inference. And this is to say nothing of how expensive it is to train a model (estimated to be in the billions currently for the latest of the cited article, which likely doesn't include the folks involves and their salaries). And I haven't even mentioned the impact on the environment from the prolific consumption of power; there's a reason nuclear plants are becoming popular again (which may actually be one of the good things that comes out of this).
People here are so batshit about AI let alone AGI. Which nobody has even a real definition (just more and more of the statisical interference "AI" is doing now? That's what the new "reasoning" models do), or at best they lower AGI to some useless definition that is still just a LLM all of which often can not even do basic addition of simple numbers.

We are for sure further away in time form any real AGI then we are from a moon landing, most likely further away then from the roman empire. To think or even worry about it is a fools game.

It is so much more likely we just wipe out the planet with nukes than developing an real AGI.
The issue existed from me in both firefox and chrome. Click on outside columns will result in normal scroll. Click or highlight in the center column will result in the jumpy scroll that does not quite scroll one comment at a time with up/down arrow.
My take is that they have directly observed the quantum geometry of the physical electrons for the first time, and it matches the geometry theorized by the wave function. The shape of the wave function theoretically describes what we expect the physical geometry of the electrons to be in the quantum setting, and now they have been able to confirm that through direct observation. A small distinction, but a distinction nonetheless.
It doesn't feel like its performance represents how better it can benchmark against competitors. You'll barely feel it if you are using it for coding if you compare it to Claude.

Anyways, it's very good. Possibly the best. It can write really well and much better than GPT-4. Maybe it's just my own taste, but it looks less LLM-ish.

I'm just not sure if it's worth the $200/month. Claude is cheaper and you can use it on Cursor so well.

The tiered pricing for OpenAI offering looks very weak. They have the best product, but it isn't worth $200, sorry.
Ha!! Amazing, I should watch more nature documentaries!!
I can definitely hit my Return key with more precision than I can drag a cursor over a 40x400px target but go off :P

(I use a Superior Technologies trackball because it's the only mouse I could find manufactured in the USA and it's really not very precise, it's kind of a self handicap to nudge me towards keyboard shortcuts, muscle memory gains just have a steeper curve on keyboard than mouse)

So back in the day before LSPs:

Typically I'd leverage 2 large monitors and keep at least 3 editor "views" into code open at once: one for what I was actively working on and 2 others that would contain reference code. You also take considerable care as to how you organize the code, so that grepping for definitions is easy. If I needed to see how a particular object or function worked, I'd pull it up in one of the auxiliary code windows - which would typically start with a grep alias command that would have a shortcut to open it in a designated emacs buffer window. Not anywhere near as convenient as an LSP but it got the job done.
The bug was caught because airplanes had tail strikes. It might help to actually read the article you're commenting on, especially with that high horse.

The FTC is the Federal Trade Commission. They care about more than just healthcare. They're big enough that they can run more than one case at a time.

So if there's a problem with Marriott, the FTC should be addressing it. They should also be addressing Change Healthcare, but you're not hearing about it in this article, because this article is about Marriott and Starwood.
"Malum est consilium, quod mutari non potest" you might say.
Coach is a sleeper car, you just share the cabin with up to 5 people on bunk beds. Although on newer carriages (which I think is the one that goes to Paris) those are sleeping capsules where you have more privacy.

I took the trip to Vienna in one of the old bunk bed cars for 60€ and it was fine.
I liked the experience of chatting with the fellow passengers in the cabin that you usually don’t have on a normal train ride.
From 2022, revised 2023, I may have seen it before and forgotten. It is pretty interesting. I wonder how well the approach works against chess engines, at least Leela-style.

What are some articles you recommend to start reading more about this?
Nobody uses twitter these days.
It's essentially pasta in broth. This is common in Italy and expanding the idea to "noodle soup", common in many places. The floor for this dish is certainly higher than "ok". Who doesn't enjoy a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup in the fall? It sounds like it would be like that.
Hand-made decision trees are open to inspection, comprehension, and adaption. There is no way to adapt an opaque ML model to new findings / an experimental treatment except by producing a new model.

This is the kind of question where you can easily go get a much better and more comprehensive answer on your own by experiencing it yourself.

That basically never happens, which is the point.
I bet that there's a similarity between this and what happens to LLM hallucinations.

At some point we will realize that AI will never be perfect, it will just have much better precision than us.
It's much worse than that. It's giving the village idiot something which turns their insane ramblings into something that is incredibly verbose and sounds credible but inherits both the original idiot's poor communication and the subtle ramblings of an electronic crackhead in it.

Bring back the days of "because it's got electrolytes" because I can easily ignore those ones.
I've been thinking about building a service that makes it easy to self host apps like this. I'm curious if you'd find it useful.

It would host webapps like yours that use in browser sqlite to store data, then the service provide a sync their sqlite data across different devices. The user not the app would pay for the storage of the data, so they would own their data. And you can use CSP to lock down the app from sharing with other domains, meaning an app can't leak your data.

The service would handle identity (only you can access your sqlite data - the app just ) and could provide an app store like experience with different apps of this type.

Sort of like a firebase style backend as a service, but the user would own the data instead of the app.
What? I think this just works...

Magnus (Carlsen, chess) does this often, he pushes people into unknown territory that they are most certainly underprepared for through new or obscure openings that complicate a position very quickly. The game then turns tactical and they eventually find themselves in a bad endgame, one against Magnus of all people.
I get distracted by auto complete and they usually stay in front of the code, so I can't read it. I find it annoying when I'm pairing with someone that uses it and the auto complete/type hint/whatever pops up and covers most of the code I was trying to read

Working in a code base every day I end up creating a mental map of the code and the data, so it's not hard to find stuff I'm looking for. When that doesn't work, a global search or find/grep helps.

The best exhibit at the National Cryptologic Museum is the WWII-era ENIGMA (3-rotor, but still!) machine that is on display.

In the open.

With instructions on how to encode/decode messages using it.

And little slips of paper and tiny golf pencils right there encouraging you to use it.

This and the National Electronics Museum (colocated with the System Source Computer Museum [which also houses most of the DigiBarn collection]) about an hour north have more hands-on exhibits of actual vintage technology than practically every other museum in the country combined.

Can it play youtube videos without saturating the resources yet?

This was a major problem with Pi 4/400, I had to resort to quite an extreme overclock and some hacky custom browser builds to improve this. Bought it for a family member new to computing. I was put off so much of the 'pi as a basic desktop computer' that I wouldn't buy another for this usecase. Never did make sense to me why it struggled so much with a quad core SoC that should have been able to handle it.

First thing I do on an SBC now is to see what resources are consumed playing back a 1080p youtube video.
They said they were a follower of them though.

> All these IDE+- things may be nice-to-have but most soon become crutches, and then you cannot live without them.

There's a bit of "silly flexing" and projecting here but not entirely without merit. At regular intervals I'll actually turn all my IDE features off just to give myself a refresher. I would imagine that if you took away most IDE syntactical sugar, the vast majority of relatively competent devs could adapt in short order to it.

To me it's the equivalent of using an IME to type Chinese, but occasionally I'll just sit down and physically write the characters on pen/paper. Do I need to do it? Not really, but I enjoy how it forces me into a state of uncomfortableness.

> Then the trend to pollute untyped-languages' codebases with so-called-"typing" noise, because "it would be IDeditor-friendly". Form over function

I honestly have zero idea what you're trying to say here. You mean Typescript or using JSDocs to inform type expectations? What exactly is the issue?

These kinds of arguments get "trot out" all the bloody time. Whatever I grew up with was the most ideal - whatever came after is just a crutch.

For that matter, why are you using a high-level language like Javascript or C#? Don't you know that it's a crutch and gets in the way of true programming understanding? You should be using magnetized needles to etch machine code directly onto disk platters.
It's an insidious incentive, in an age where an AI is going to look through your CV, and not much care - or be able to tell the difference ...
There’s a RegretfulParents subreddit if you need to commiserate or vent.
Yes, and I never said so. But the post I replied to implied that socialist=social democratic.
And neither the marxist/communists in the far-left parties (and sometimes the whole party) nor the fascists in the far-right parties are social democratic.

(Of course there is no such thing as a "social democracy", in the sense that the government structure is modified from a "non-social" democracy. But there can be democrats who push for a socially oriented governance. For example: Let's have affordable healthcare. Yes, that means that it cost more for rich people..

Democrats here means "people who want to take part in a democracy". not the US party. Not that they are liberal in the European sense either.)

I don’t think this is confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is putting more weight on information that support preexisting beliefs. If a continuity plan is activated and the passengers are unaware then that is a totally different thing. If the passengers are made aware of a continuity plan being implemented then Negativity Bias or the Von Restorff Effect would be more accurate descriptions, in which negative stimuli or unusual stimuli are more frequently recalled.
In my experience there are two versions of "fighting the borrow checker". The first is where the language has tools it needs you to use that you might not've seen before, like enums, Option::take, Arc/Mutex, channels, etc. The second is where you need to stop using references/lifetimes and start using indexes: https://jacko.io/object_soup.html
My guess is that the html formatter changed the text "example.com" into "http://example.com" to make it a valid absolute URL.
Javascript code is often short lived and doesn't have enough time to wait for the JIT to watm up.
I have two kids and while I was never depressed, I can see how it can happen. You get virtually no sleep for at least a year after the kid is born and you have to completely change your life routine (no more last-minute weekend trips for my wife and I).

You also don't see your friends as much and it can feel isolating. This also leads to more stress for you and your partner. Many people divorce/break up during this time because of the this.

I wouldn't change a thing though. I love being a father.
The hotel in Leipzig was easy because the tram went straight to the city center 24/4 .

As far as I know people don't like the huge space and I agree. The magic of the Congress in Berlin or Hamburg wasn't there in Leipzig.

Also the logistics center of the CCC is somewhere around Berlin.

The size of Leipzig also motivated a few not so fitting people to that conference too.
Am I the only one paranoid about LLM IDE integration like copilot stealing your code and using it as training data, even if there's a privacy policy that denies any such intent?
Na, it’s not intentionally malicious - people are just trying to pad their resumes for new roles while unemployed or as students. I did the same (not with AI, but picking up the low hanging easy tasks to add a few lines to my CV years ago).
Like I said, hand wringing about someone's botched software implementation does not change the fact that this is simple math that tons of people at an airline are qualified to perform and check.

This is not rocket surgery. This is something that literally every private pilot with a Cessna does when they encounter a novel loading. Stop making it out to be some super scary thing requiring serious expertise to not screw up.
Calling the RP2350's PIO units "low power io cores" is quite an exaggeration. Although they are technically turing-complete with a lot of hacking, they are absolutely awful at any kind of compute. Heck, you probably don't even want to let it handle UART parity calculation!

If anything the ESP32's Ultra-Low-Power Coprocessor would be perfect for such applications - but realistically it isn't worth the effort. Compute power usage is going to be negligible compared to what is needed for wifi and rotors, and running multiple realtime tasks on a single core isn't exactly rocket science either.
"OK" compared to the average chicken noodle soup, not compared to all the edible things.

Basically, would it be worth the Italy hike to get there, or can I get roughly the same thing at the supermarket?
Rust's syntax is basically a bog-standard C/C++ descendant, but with a slightly cleaner and more regular grammar.

Just in case someone thinks Magnus comes up with those openings on the spot.

No he has a team that uses computers to find out those plays based on what other player played as all past matches are available.

Source: I watched interview with a guy that was hired as a computer scientist consulting gig by Magnus team.

It does not take away how good he is as I don’t think many people could learn to remember weird openings and win from that against grand master level players anyway.
Good insight! I probably take my memory for granted. With your synonym point I can definitely see the friction that could cause.

You're spot on with jetbrains etc.. I have also tried it and a few other highly specific and focused best-possible-experience full IDEs along the way. Early in learning a stack I felt needlessly burdened by the nuances between autocomplete options (which put me at risk of ending up stuck in an documentation hole happily reading about shit I didn't need to for hours) and once more confident I just went back to regular annoyance. In some code bases I'd probably have used it more, as the suggestions were so much more refined and useful. You're totally right in that it's a whole different league from VSCode.
I honestly see hallucinations as an absolute win, it's attempting to (predict/'reason') information from the training data it has.
I have done +12 langs (used for work) with a variation of some using an IDE, a user-facing GUI (like Excel/VBA/SQL Admins), others just a text editor, etc

Some have auto-complete, others do not.

I use some of these combos at the same time.

The main thing I learned is that certain languages are made for one way or another.

For example, python, SQL.

There is not much you get from a IDE for python, and a good editor make wonders. SQL is braindead and bad designed, so the only moment you wanna to autocomplete (for get fields) any tool I have used fails (ironically, this one thing where copilot actually improves it).

So, if the language is made to work well without ide, it will work well.

What is a terrible mistake is refusing to use an IDE (or IDE-like capabilities) for languages like Rust, C++, C, etc...
Most of my cards look like that these days.

Arguably it's a wash for security: Yes, you can take a single photo of all the card details if the CVC is on the same side as the number and expiry, but on the other hand, there's nothing of value on the front now, which helps with people taking photos of their cards and posting them on social media.

And I agree, the paint rubbing off is extremely annoying, and even worse when it's metallic paint, flakes of which have a habit of deeply embedding themselves in all kinds of leather and fabric materials. That, and the fact that you can't fit as many of them in a "card-only wallet", makes me not want to carry any of them anymore.
Sorry if I wasn't more clear. I wasn't trying to argue for a correct definition of virtualization. My point was that because the use of VM in the title is ambiguous without context when speaking to a general audience, it would have been nice to have a more qualified title.

For me the reason for the distinction between hardware virtualization and emulation based virtualization is the differences in suitability based on instance creation cost, and instruction performance, and as you mention security.

My usage was just an attempt to explain why I saw a distinction, not to pedantically define any of the terms. My apologies if you felt I used them incorrectly.
I could be reading your comment wrong, but what do you mean with "c++ is a definitive nono"? Also how is a complicated repository enough (reason) to choose quickjs?

This was an issue without LLMs too, and it sucks. GH has a tag for "good first issue" which always gets snatched by someone who only cares about the contribution line. Sometimes they just let it sit for weeks because they forgot that they now have to actually do the work.
This is not a new thing. A decade ago, when I was more active in OSS, I remember occasionally seeing bizarre posts on our mailing lists that had a distinctly Markovian feel that included hallucinated snippets of code. In some cases they used completely unnecessary and out-of-character (for our lists) profanity. These posts were often plausible enough that they usually netted a legitimate reply or two before someone pointed out the OP was a bot.

The goal in some way or another seemed to be spam, either getting access to email addresses, or access to some venue (I guess an issue tracker?) where spam could be posted.
My recommendation is that you do whatever you feel like with ownership when you first write the code, but then if something forces you to come back and change how ownership works, seriously consider switching to https://jacko.io/object_soup.html.
